Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live baseball game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.

Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.

Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)

Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

CBS is overjoyed about Thursdays, sure, but Mondays are sure to be their worry. Partners bombed, HIMYM and 2BG have fallen to low-to-mid 3s, and without them, Mike & Molly would surely be getting Partners numbers. So do they expand Thursday comedies, or shift some combo of their Thursday comedies back to Monday?

‘He could be having the time of his life while she thinks she’s a chicken pecking for corn’…hilarious. So Sheldon has a little perv in him…and then he starts demonstrating. Best moments of the night

“Last Resort is an excellent and intelligent show”

I hope you only talked about the first episode. Its all downhill from there (except for episode 4) and facepalm moments are aplenty. XO-Sophia in just episode 2, 3 and then 6 reeks of desperation and lazy character set up. With the already high suspension of disbelief, episode 6 was an unmitigated disaster.

LOL TVD is a nightmare quality wise and a joke.

@THE OLD MAN

And you and Joe both need to accept the simple truth that Gunsmoke is a far more successful show than Grey’s Anatomy

Gunsmoke Rule does not apply in this context. I am not saying that Grey’s Anatomy‘s second season was more successful than Person of Interest‘s (even though it was). I am saying that this season, Grey’s Anatomy is more successful than Person of Interest, despite the former being seven seasons older.

Thrilled to see POI rating so high in the demo and so strong in total viewers. Last night’s was a terrific episode after several weeks of fluff: high on the tension, great extension of the core mythology, and funny bits too.

SarahL

What happened with Grey’s? At least, Scandal had a minor uptick.

Petar Ivanov

In week where all shows are down CBS thursday line up KILL them all. Best CBS day no doubt about it.

@ POIFanatic

Well TWD had a very good first season, pretty lackluster second one but the third season has been good. But you are right that there have been quite a few errors in throughout this season. But the overall quality in terms is better than POI. POI is pretty procedural but the serialized elements is what makes this show a mist watch for me.Oh forgot Mad Men as a Emmy candidate. That is a good show.

Mayorofsmpleton

Glee will get a season 5 based on syndication and music sales alone. Season 6 is the big question. It’s still at the top of their scripted hourlongs.

John A

@Bored Yet TVD is highest on CW. Are you a Flopkita fan or something?

POIFanatic

@Declan: If it were up to me, I’d not give TWD any awards other than Best Actor for Rick. It has too many flaws to forgive. POI was exceptionally strong in its first season and deserves some kind of Emmy love (though that’s just a dream).

steve

Hopefully if adjusted down POI mantains a 3.0

POI

CW wednesdays beat its thursdays fmaybe for the first time since tvd started and i hope TBBT rises even more and get to over 20 million and 2.5 men to rise aswell because this season is just awesome. Sad that TVD is down although i want Arrow to beat it but not by TVD going Down i want Arrow to rise until it beats TVD someday, and to add to that Arrow didnt beat TVD it tied it in adults but beat it in Viewers by almost 1 million so happy for arrow and hope it grows more when it gets back 2 weeks from now with the Huntress episode i encourage everyone who liked or loved the dark knight to watch it because there will be a relationship between oliver and the huntress like with batman and catwoman.

Why is 30 Rock still on?

Yes, I know this is the last season.

Why wasn’t last season the last season?

Actually, why wasn’t the season BEFORE last season the last season?

Actually, why was it ever on in the first place?

It isn’t funny.

Brian J

@SJ:

Ah, thanks.

@Lyndle:

I wouldn’t worry just yet. Compared to the rest of Fox’s line up, “Glee” is doing well. It could get a boost in the spring if “Idol” is still strong.

Unless Fox really kills it with some new shows for the remainder of the season, I’d guess we’d see at least one more season of it.

Chris

Why has television had NOTHING worthwhile for Andre Braugher since Homicide ended?

@Jim

I know that there is an education crisis in America, but it isn’t until I see the numbers for the CBS procedurals that I realize just how dire the situation really is.

@Eridapo

I didn’t disappear, is that when for you it’s afternoon for me it’s night and I’ve been busy. But I’ll reply to your past post tomorrow, or tonight by your clocktime.

After seeing the half hour breakdowns, I think this could be one of those weeks when scandal doesn’t adjust down. The fact that it went up when Greys went down is a good sign. And if it can hold on to similar 1/2 demos for the rest of the country as it had in the overnight markets, it won’t decline.

While its nunbers are not as high as some others shows, it was the most consistent show in the spring at holding its audience week to week and I thinkk it will be again this fall and has a pretty good shot at being renewed for a 3rd season. For a show that has not been heavily promoted, is not as expensive to produce as other ABC shows and which consistently wins its time period in the all important female demos, it is actually a pretty safe bet for ABC.
